welcome to honolulu

made a trip to honolulu last week. we were there for the 4th, so saw some great fireworks from our hotel room in waikiki. grace got to see her cousins, which she LOVED following around. kaila showed grace how to play games on the computer.......look how serious they look!!

father's day . . . . .

ahh, father's day. grace and i took ric to hakone (where i work) for dinner......here is a picture outside before we ate. grace ate 8 strawberries with whip cream AFTER a huge dinner. the girl loves her fruit!!!

Remember Lehua???

poor lehua, our oldest daughter, doesn't even have her own chair.....so she had to sneak special moments in grace's chair when grace is asleep.

happy birthday pa-pa!

this the the donut we bought in honor of grandpa blackard's birthday. seeing as how she had her 1st donut with pa-pa at the tender age of 6 months, we thought it was fitting. sorry, but didn't have enough candles, so went with the one classic candle.

Happy Birthday Dad!! hope you enjoy your day and the boys aren't making you too tired!!!

naughty corner

the next time someone tells me how lucky i am to have such a good girl, i want to direct them to this .........here is our little darling in time out after flinging her dinner on the floor. at least lehua was happy about it!!!
